adventurous dark mysterious reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

A very heavy-handed metaphor. I loved Sidi and I would read about his daily life forever. The second half of the book seemed like a totally different book, with the plot picking up and random characters coming out of nowhere.
